Everose day date

Hello i am brand new to the site and i understand this should be under wanting to buy but i cannot post there. I am assuming the reason being that i am new with no posts. I am in the market for an everose day date president. I want a newer watch with the better bracelet/clasp and i do not care if it is a 118205 or 118235 however i prefer the latter. It must have the president band and the newer the better but i want to be under 20k. Once again i apologize for posting in the wrong section and i look forward to someone pointing me in the right direction.

Welcome.

I think the mods will move it for you.

Also check out the classifieds section.

That’s going to be hard to find at that price point.

thanks for the fast suggestion. i left a message for davidsw so we'll see what happens. am i being unrealistic on price point? i understand that i probably will not get a brand new watch for that but i feel like 20k for a watch that is 10 years or hopefully less old is reasonable on my part?

I did a quick search on Bob's Watches and 3 Rose Gold DD came up with the references you mentioned and all 3 are under USD $20k.

your price isn't unreasonable its just that these watches aren't the hottest sellers so there isn't much stock around. i would reach out to the big trusted sellers here and see if any of them can find one for you. they definitely will be able to its just a matter of time

Welcome and you will love the day-date. The model you are looking for is certainly out there for your price point but you might have to do a little digging to find a trusted seller. Good luck and keep us posted!

I saw on Ebay lots for sale in your price point. Also I noticed many from real brick and mortar resellers. So call them up and ask your questions and get the watch by the weekend. Good luck.

Possible with patience. Buy the seller first. If a price is too good then it’s probably is.

plenty of those out there. Where to go? Its where ever you find the one you like. Ebay will probably be your go-to. Try Chrono24 as well. Dealers are plentiful on these

Yes I did. I got a 118205 and I'm happy with my purchase. I tried to post pictures but it wouldn't let me. I also picked up a new 116200 about 2 weeks ago for a nice change up.
